Air North netminder Eugene Johnson won’t be getting any Christmas cards from Firth’s Devon Slade, as the goalie stoned the league’s leading goalscorer on numerous occasions to help his team earn a 2-2 tie in Whitehorse Oldtimers hockey action at Takhini Arena on Sunday. Slade did get both of the Rangers goals on Johnson, but was denied many, many more by the veteran goaler. Mike Jim got one for the fliers, and Ed van Randen sniped the game tying goal with a scant 1:40 on the clock.
